Windsor and Castile Soap

- To make the celebrated Windsor soap, nothing more is necessary than to slice the best white soap as thin as possible, and melt it over a slow fire. Take it from the fire when melted, and when it is just lukewarm, add enough of the oil of caraway to scent it. If any other fragrant oil is liked better, it may be substituted. Turn it into moulds, and let it remain in a dry situation for five or six days. To make Castile soap, boil common, soft soap in lamp oil three hours and a half.
